Question

question 2 of 5
given statements:
if a shape is a rhombus, then the diagonals are perpendicular.
a square is a rhombus.
what is a logical conclusion from the given statements?
a. the sides of a square are perpendicular.
b. the diagonals of a square are perpendicular.
c. a rhombus is a square.
d. the diagonals of a square are not perpendicular.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the first statement

The first statement says if a shape is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular.

Step2: Analyze the second statement

The second statement says a square is a rhombus.

Step3: Draw conclusion

Since a square is a rhombus (from statement 2) and for a rhombus the diagonals are perpendicular (from statement 1), we can conclude that the diagonals of a square are perpendicular.

Answer:

B. The diagonals of a square are perpendicular.
